Use the gifts of technology to ‘be there’
Yes, thanks to technology, a virtual presence is possible on her special day. You and your family can get together before the webcam and “show up” in your mom’s living room. A personalized greeting from each one of you will be a welcome surprise indeed!
How about a personalised mug with a photo of your entire family. Alternatively, if you have some time on hand, then you could shoot a home video and have it shipped across to her in time for Women’s Day. Throw in a song, a performance or just read out her favorite poem for her, and don’t forget to weave in what you treasure most about her.
A little something that requires a wee bit more preparation could be a handmade collage of pictures of you with her. Begin with your first birthday till the most recent milestone you shared with her, a few quotable quotes and nothing could be more special and personal!
Order a surprise
Pick from an array of fresh flowers, home decor items, trendiest bags and the like. You could choose to depart from convention and have a bunch of singers belting out her favorite song right outside her doorstep. Add that spray of flowers and a box of chocolates to complete the surprise.
Women’s day out
Treat your loved one (your mom, sister, friend, wife) to a day at the spa or a makeover at her favorite beauty parlor. Just pick up the phone and call the best spa or salon in your city and arrange a day full of pure indulgence for her.
Call the travel agent
If traveling has always been close to your mother’s heart and she’s never had time to tear herself away from her responsibilities, then there are plenty of tour operators who arrange travel options for women. So gift her a memorable trip at a picturesque retreat or go all the way to join her for a long vacation! Nothing can be more exciting
Diamonds are a women’s best friend
Most of India’s reputed jewelers have their presence on the net. Simply log on to their sites and buy diamonds, emeralds, rubies or gold jewelry if that’s what she loves most.
Get her to do what she’s always wanted to do
If your mom wanted to drive a car, ride a bike, trek, paint or swim, then talk to a friend or sibling in her city and let them help you identify an instructor or institute that will let her master what she always wanted to but somehow never had the opportunity to!
